SoSCOE enabled enhanced joint connectivity and situational awareness while supporting multiple operating systems and hardware target platforms. SoSCOE was hosted upon MapuSoft’s Cross-OS platform solution which provided interoperability between VxWorks®, Linux, and LynxOS while freeing applications from their underlying operating systems to allow future portability PROJECT • FCS program is a very large program for which the software assets needed to be reusable and not tied to a specic vendor’s solution. • US military required that applications developed on SoSCOE be based on strict POSIX standards; however the commercial real-time operating systems needed to run SoSCOE did not support the required POSIX standards. • SoSCOE requires kernel resources with guaranteed availability during run-time. PRODUCT Development Platform SOLUTION MapuSoft’s Cross-OS Development Platform (previously called OS Abstractor) was chosen because of its POSIX standards compliance and OS Abstractor’s advanced real-time memory and thread management features. Boeing’s SoSCOE was integrated with the Cross-OS Development Platform in order to allow SoSCOE to support multiple Target OS environments. The POSIX component oers industry standard API compliance for new code development and/or re-use of existing POSIX code base across multiple OS platforms while adhering to the standards set by the US military for the POSIX requirements. MapuSoft’s Cross-OS Development Platform protects software investment by eliminating the risks associated with OS selection and/or use of proprietary API features. It allows developers to use a standard API interface across multiple OS platforms and greatly reduces the costs associated with code maintenance and learning multiple operating systems. 2 Condential and Proprietary CASE STUDY 1 The Boeing Company, California, USA “MapuSoft's Cross-OS Development Platform provides many OS back ends which will be a great benet to SoSCOE, which runs in a variety of environments”, said Al Williams, SoSCOE's Chief Architect.

  • F-16 Avionics Upgrades Driven by What You Can't See
    Friday, October 7, 2016 aviationtoday.com F-16 Avionics Upgrades Driven by What You Can't See By Woodrow Bellamy III [Avionics Magazine 10-07-2016] While the F-35 is starting to enter service and is the most technologically advanced fighter jet that the military aviation community has ever seen, its predecessor, which took its first flight more than 40 years ago, is still going strong, and avionics and other structural upgrades are giving nations that can't afford the F-35 a reason to keep flying, upgrading and even purchasing the F-16. Primarily, F-16 cockpits are being upgraded with glass, and some military operators are also adding Northrop Grumman's AN/APG-83 Active Electronically-Scanned Array (AESA) radar and an upgraded mission computer. The functionality for these technologies relies heavily upon some of the components that pilots and the general public can't see and usually pay no attention to, such as aerospace grade Ethernet cables that enable high speed data transmission. Between requests for avionics upgrades from the U.S. Air Force (USAF), South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and others, Lockheed Martin expects to upgrade 500 in- service F-16s over the next 7 years, the aerospace and defense contractor told reporters at a press conference at the 2016 Farnborough International Airshow earlier this year. Among some of the more notable surface-level technologies available for the F-16 is the F-16V configuration, which replaces electro-mechanical cockpit instruments with a center pedestal display, an upgraded mission computer, a higher capacity Ethernet databus and other options.

  • Landmark Flight Brings Program One Step Closer to Demonstrating Autonomous Aerial Refueling Between Two Unmanned Aircraft
    Photo and Video Release -- Landmark Flight Brings Program One Step Closer to Demonstrating Autonomous Aerial Refueling Between Two Unmanned Aircraft March 9, 2011 SAN DIEGO, Mar 9, 2011 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- On Jan. 21, Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and NASA Dryden Flight Research Center took a major step toward demonstrating autonomous aerial refueling between two unmanned, high altitude aircraft, an operation never before performed. Photos and video accompanying this release are available at: http://www.irconnect.com/noc/press/pages/news_releases.html?d=215774 In a key risk reduction flight test, Northrop Grumman's Proteus test aircraft and a NASA Global Hawk flew as close as 40 feet apart at an altitude of 45,000 feet, an industry-setting record. The flight test was conducted in the challenging high altitude environment required for refueling of high altitude long endurance (HALE) unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Wake turbulence between the two aircraft as well as engine performance and flight control responsiveness in the stratosphere were evaluated. Simulated breakaway maneuvers were also conducted. The January flight was key to reducing risks as the program prepares for autonomous aerial refueling of two Global Hawks in the spring of 2012. "Demonstrating close formation flight of two high altitude aircraft, whether manned or unmanned, is a notable accomplishment," said Geoffrey Sommer, KQ-X program manager at Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems sector. "When you add autonomous flight of both aircraft into the mix, as we will do later in the KQ-X program, you gain a capability that has mission applications far beyond just aerial refueling." The $33 million DARPA KQ-X program will demonstrate autonomous fuel transfer between two Global Hawks, enabling flights of up to one week endurance.

  • Aircraft Designations and Popular Names
    Chapter 1 Aircraft Designations and Popular Names Background on the Evolution of Aircraft Designations Aircraft model designation history is very complex. To fully understand the designations, it is important to know the factors that played a role in developing the different missions that aircraft have been called upon to perform. Technological changes affecting aircraft capabilities have resulted in corresponding changes in the operational capabilities and techniques employed by the aircraft. Prior to WWI, the Navy tried various schemes for designating aircraft. In the early period of naval aviation a system was developed to designate an aircraft’s mission. Different aircraft class designations evolved for the various types of missions performed by naval aircraft. This became known as the Aircraft Class Designation System. Numerous changes have been made to this system since the inception of naval aviation in 1911. While reading this section, various references will be made to the Aircraft Class Designation System, Designation of Aircraft, Model Designation of Naval Aircraft, Aircraft Designation System, and Model Designation of Military Aircraft. All of these references refer to the same system involved in designating aircraft classes. This system is then used to develop the specific designations assigned to each type of aircraft operated by the Navy. The F3F-4, TBF-1, AD-3, PBY-5A, A-4, A-6E, and F/A-18C are all examples of specific types of naval aircraft designations, which were developed from the Aircraft Class Designation System. Aircraft Class Designation System Early Period of Naval Aviation up to 1920 The uncertainties during the early period of naval aviation were reflected by the problems encountered in settling on a functional system for designating naval aircraft.

  • Northrop Grumman
    Whereas: As the world’s fourth-largest defense company, Northrop Grumman’s most severe human rights impacts are likely to result from the use of its products and services, such as controversial arms trade, military training, nuclear weapons, and border surveillance systems. Business relationships with the U.S. Government and foreign governments whose activities may be linked to human rights violations may expose Northrop Grumman to legal, financial, and reputational risks. Under the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), companies have a responsibility to respect human rights which is distinct from the duties of states. The high likelihood of severe impacts linked to business in conflict-affected and high-risk areas warrants heightened due diligence. A 2019 Amnesty International report found that the defense industry is failing to carry out effective human rights due diligence. This requires conducting human rights impact assessments to identify and evaluate the actual and potential adverse human rights impacts of the company’s business activities.1 The findings from the impact assessments should inform business decision making, prevention and mitigation efforts, and public disclosure. Northrop Grumman has contracts with or supplies weapons to multiple states engaged in conflict, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, India, Israel, Morocco, and Colombia.2 Northrop Grumman is one of the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces’s largest defense partners, supplying weapons since 1971, and is heavily involved in military training.3 A 2020 report by the UN Human Rights Council alleges that Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in Yemen “may amount to war crimes” and the supply of weapons from the U.S.
